Chapter 227: Chapter 226 Unsolvable Problem

Translator: 549690339

Du Ming was very satisfied with his current life. Being the creator of a world, enjoying a life of plenty, according to the Buddhist belief of suffering in this life to enjoy the next, he thought that no matter how much suffering he endured in this life, he might not be able to bear such blessings in the next. “In these thousand years, we have discovered the existence of souls.”

“Soul?” Du Ming repeated, digressing on the concept of a soul, but this was never confirmed as existence before. It seemed that the real world had developed rapidly over the past thousand years.

“Yes, the soul is the basis for determining whether a person is alive or dead. Without a soul, it’s just a body. If it has a soul, it’s considered a living person. When Feitian Company says it can let people live for two hundred years, it means after two hundred years, people will die, and the soul will go to the Underworld. ”

Jiang Li was not deceiving Du Ming; he had done quite a bit of research on the soul. This was his conclusion.

The soul and the ability to think are closely related. If there is no soul, it does not necessarily mean there is no ability to think. If there is a soul, there is definitely the ability to think.

The regret of the Great Dream Hermit belongs to having the ability to think, but it is not considered as a soul.

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal imparts a nascent form of soul to the Spiritual Treasure, giving it the ability to think. Over a period of time, it becomes a true soul.

Years have passed since then, and those spiritual treasures that have been imbued now all have true souls.

Therefore, the ability to think is a prerequisite for the formation of a soul.

And the callback civilization has not yet developed the ability to give programs the ability to think. Creating something from nothing, creating a soul, cannot be done below the immortal rank, so the virtual personality is just a set of programs.

“Do you mean that Du Ming is indeed dead, and I am the virtual personality of Du Ming, and my current actions are all programmed?” Du Ming’s pupils shrunk slightly at this shocking news, but quickly returned to normal, only hinting some melancholy in his tone.

“That’s right, I thought I just belonged to another form of life, but I didn’t expect…” Du Ming shook his head, “No, it can’t be called unexpected, I just deliberately didn’t think about it.”

“That’s it?” Bai Hongtu widened his eyes.

Bai Hongtu had considered what Du Ming’s reaction would be upon finding out the truth about his death. Chaos of thought, screaming, heart-wrenching, all were possibilities.

But he never expected it to be this calm, as plain as drinking a cup of boiled water.

“Death is death. After all, it’s the real Du Ming who’s dead, I’m not the real Du Ming.” Du Ming shrugged.

“And the real Du Ming was prepared before entering the virtual world. He died without regrets. If time reversed, he would still make the same choice.”

Jiang Li didn’t know how to refute. Standing in Du Ming’s place, he couldn’t make a better choice for Du Ming.

Du Ming is a microcosm of billions.

“What shocks me is not death, but the real existence of the soul.” Du Ming said. Although he was a virtual personality, from his reaction, there was no difference from the real Du Ming.

“Have you ever thought about why our civilization discovered the existence of the soul only in the last millennium, and yet had the concept of the soul long before this?”

Members of the civilization generally had profound knowledge. Even Du Ming, who did not have a high level of education and could only be a small office worker, had studied humanities and society when he was in school and had deep thought about these issues.

Du Ming put forth his viewpoint: “It’s not death that humans fear, but the disappearance of consciousness.”

“Dust to dust, earth to earth, human death extinguishes the light, and everything vanishes. This is what humans fear. So they fantasize about the soul, believing that there is a consciousness after death, providing comfort.”

Du Ming laughed: “It’s just that I didn’t expect that the soul does indeed exist. When I learned of this, I felt an unexpected joy.”

“The real Du Ming is already dead, but he still has a soul, still has consciousness, I’m happy for him.”

“Although I don’t have consciousness and can only act according to the program, consciousness is a very empty thing. Even if you say I don’t have consciousness, I still feel like I have it. At most, it feels a bit uncomfortable.” Du Ming’s view was very open, leaving Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu speechless.

“I remember you said that Feitian Company forced you to work, so you think the virtual world is wonderful. If you say that your work in the real world is easy, or you don’t have to work, you can find your love, would you choose to stay in the virtual world all your life?”

Jiang Li had looked into Du Ming’s position at Feitian Company. Considering the technological level of civilization, this position could be fully replaced by a robot.

But Feitian Company not only didn’t use robots to relieve the workload, but deliberately increased Du Ming’s burden.

This was forcing Du Ming into the virtual world.

Jiang Li also found that most of the tasks in civilization were redundant and could be completed by machines.

Du Ming thought for a while and said: “After some hesitation, I would still come to the virtual world. The real world is never as free as the virtual world. In my world, I can play with the world and create everything. I can also adjust the time. The outside world passes for a minute, and I can experience a hundred years in the virtual world. Compared to reality, I am more attracted to the virtual world.”

“In reality, if I find someone I like, I can also pull her into the virtual world.

There are more ways to play in the virtual world.”

Both of them were silent. It seems that Feitian Company deliberately increased people’s workload, which was just a quick way to implement the euthanasia plan. Even without the pressure, people would eventually choose to enter the virtual world of their own accord.

This is an unsolvable problem.

The holographic simulator holds people’s hearts tightly so that people have to accept it.

From a personal perspective, no one can refuse the virtual world. If Jiang Li had just traversed as a normal person, not being at the Mahayana level, he would probably have spent his entire life in the virtual world.

Only those in power standing at the highest point can consider the overall situation and have a reason to refuse the virtual world in order to allow civilization to progress.

However, the ruling class of the civilisation, Fei Tian Company, who should be considering the overall situation, actually contributed to this result. So, it was inevitable for the civilization to enter the virtual era.

Is this a cause for grief, or a cause for celebration?

The two bid farewell to Du Ming and wanted to find others to ask about their thoughts. After all, Du Ming’s words were only from one perspective.

Watching the two men go, Du Ming thought of himself as just a virtual personality, a program lacking the ability to think, and felt a little uncomfortable.

But this discomfort is also a program, not a real feeling.

He doesn’t have real feelings.

“If I were a living person, I wouldn’t be able to modify my memory. But since I’m a program, why can’t I modify my memory?”

Du Ming thought of it and did it. He found out that he could indeed modify his memory, so he erased the part where he met with Jiang Li.

“Huh? How did I get here?” Du Ming scratched his head, realizing that he was in the larger world but couldn’t remember why he was here.

“Whatever, Risdel and the others are still waiting for me.”

Du Ming returned to his small world and continued the retired life of a brave man, carefree and free..
